These littl’ creme brulee ramekins are full of sweet dark cherry goodliness! Yes, there’s some ‘healthy’ value added with the ground flax. And, the bursts of cherry juices and Mother Nature’s nectar will just make you cheery cherry happy!

If you don’t want the flax, you might try some ground almonds or walnuts. I haven’t tested this change yet, but I’m thinking it would work. Another option would be wheat germ! While desserts might err on the side of some guilty pleasure, you can have some sliver of consolation that you’re getting a little healthy from these nutty cherry cakettes! And, if you can, serve warm with a dollop of ice cream or whipped cream. Oooops! More guilty pleasures!
